RIAA's Nasty Easter Egg

Posted by timothy on from the more-room-for-indies dept.

Bruha writes "It appears the RIAA is being very low key about the fact that the five major labels think that 99 cents per song is too cheap, and are discussing a price hike that would increase the tariff to $1.25 up to $2.99 per song. I was a huge fan of the 99c per song, but if they think that they can raise the price on me just because I don't buy full CDs anymore, they've got another thing coming. Suggestion: make good CDs, and maybe I'll buy the whole thing."

    pick some artists that don't suck.

    of my 500+ CDs, only a few of them have just 1 or 2 good tracks. the rest have probably 75% good tracks, and maybe 25% so-so.

    but on topic, RIAA are fools if they think raising prices will help sales. it will merely kill the budding online song selling business.
